JON AUER DEBUT CD AVAILABLE

After what he describes as a "rabidly indulgent marathon of recording," Jon Auer has completed his first solo full-length CD of original material called "Songs from the Year of Our Demise." Although he co-wrote and recorded both a Posies and Big Star album in the interim, "Songs…" is the record Jon says he's been "dying to make and release for the last 5 years." And it's well worth the wait. Amplifier Magazine calls it "One of the best albums of the year."

This is the most ambitious (and most accomplished) work of his career. Keyboards, cellos, organs, chimes and gizmos come and go while Jon's signature guitar work and angelic voice consistently reach new heights of emotional turmoil and longing. You can download a free MP3 of the lead track "Six Feet Under" or click to see the album E-card. Find out more about Jon on his Bio page.
